Trump Says He’ll Allow Release of Kennedy Assassination Files
October 21st, 2017My guess is that anything released will support the official narrative, but… Maybe not.
Via: AFP:
US President Donald Trump said Saturday he will allow long blocked secret files on the assassination of John F Kennedy to be opened to the public for the first time.
The November 22, 1963 assassination — an epochal event in modern US history — has spawned multiple theories challenging the official version that Kennedy was killed a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald.
So the release of all the secret documents has been eagerly anticipated by historians and conspiracy theorists alike.
Trump’s announcement followed reports that not all the files would be released, possibly to protect still relevant intelligence sources and methods.
But Trump appears to have decided otherwise.
“Subject to the receipt of further information, I will be allowing, as President, the long blocked and classified JFK FILES to be opened,” he said in a tweet.
The files are due to be opened in their entirety Thursday, nearly 54 years after Kennedy’s assassination in Dallas — unless the US president decides otherwise.
Millions of classified Kennedy files have been made public under a 1992 law passed in response to a surge in public demand for disclosure in the wake of Oliver Stone’s conspiracy-heavy movie on the assassination.
But the law placed a 25-year hold on a small percentage of the files that expires October 26.
Some reports put the number withheld at 3,100. Tens of thousands of files that had been released with portions blacked out are also set to be fully declassified.
That’ll be one hell of a distraction.

After the 1930s crisis people all over the world were looking for full employment policies. War production certainly helped in this direction, and then the death toll made it easier to obtain everywhere – after WW2. Low unemployment meant wages could go up, in time making it harder to hire – so unions pushed for more investment as well. Had it not been the case inflation and high interest rates would have ensued since supply would not have matched increased demand, but anyway the hightened interest rates resulting from low capital remuneration and high investment made it relevant to move inflation upward, the more so with wages indexed (this was necessary for a consensus on growth). In the end the point was to make inflation hurt the largest number so wages could be attacked. The Vietnam war helped, then the return to floating exchange rates in 1973, combined with the oil shock, made it superfluous.
